I get the following error: list index out of range

[ErykCh]

Hi,

in LibreChat connected to optillm proxy served by docker I get following error:

2024-10-21 06:56:48 error: [handleAbortError] AI response error; aborting request: 500 "list index out of range"

prompt:

<optillm_approach>bon|moa|mcts|cot_reflection</optillm_approach>

There are two hippos in front of a some hippo, two hippos behind a some hippo and a some hippo in the middle. How many hippos are there?

and most other approaches.

It looks like optillm is returning messages that are not compliant with the OpenAI API standard.

[ErykCh]

And there is one more error in logs:

2024-10-21 07:39:53 error: [OpenAIClient] Known OpenAI error: Error: missing role for choice 0
2024-10-21 07:44:46 warn: [OpenAIClient.chatCompletion][stream] API error

but when there is this error, LibreChat displays a message, but it would also be good to correct it

[ErykCh]

This error is connected with moa:

<optillm_approach>moa</optillm_approach>
There are two hippos in front of a some hippo, two hippos behind a some hippo and a some hippo in the middle. How many hippos are there?

and error is connected with vllm as a model inference:

Does vllm support returning multiple responses from the /v1/chat/completions end point? For moa we get 3 generations from the model https://github.com/codelion/optillm/blob/95cc14d1505c76fe124f56b233a864a971760893/optillm/moa.py#L16 Can you try with another technique like cot_reflection do you get the same error? Unfortunately, I cannot test vllm locally as I am on mac m3 and it doesn't support it (vllm-project/vllm#2081)

[ErykCh]

Yes, it returns.

cot_reflection is ok
mcts is ok (but I will create another ticket, it seems that is problem with mcts configuration)

[codelion]

Do you have the same problem (running moa) with another model? Or are you calling it with the right chat template?

Error: missing role for choice 0
Because this error will come if the response message doesn’t have a user role.

[ErykCh]

I was sending too many different approaches at once (bon|moa|mcts|cot_reflection). So to sort it out.

Problem with vllm and error (following error is in OptiLLM logs)
Error processing request: list index out of range
refers to moa

Problem with what optillm returns to LibreChat (following error is in LibreChat logs)
Known OpenAI error: Error: missing role for choice 0
refers to mcts, bon, cot_reflection
and I've tried z3 now and it also has this error, luckily the answer itself appears in the chat for all of them

[ErykCh]

Known OpenAI error: Error: missing role for choice 0

Direct connection from LibreChat to vLLM doesn't cause such an error

[codelion]

Known OpenAI error: Error: missing role for choice 0

This particular error looks like a known issue with LibreChat - danny-avila/LibreChat#1222

[ErykCh]

Ok, so only 'list index out of range' left.

[codelion]

Ok, so only 'list index out of range' left.

For that can please run moa with vllm with the changes I made here - 0df5291

I added more logging to help figure out where it is failing.

[ErykCh]

I have
--log debug

but I don't see all debug logs

[ErykCh]

So this is problem with vLLM
it return 1 choice instead of 3
but parameter is visible in vLLM logs

[codelion]

Yeah, vllm is not returning 3 responses, can you get the 3 responses if you set n directly in your openai client and call vllm?
